The easiest way to create a CONTACT US form is to search for a PLUGIN that specifically does this for you.
In your DASHBOARD, go to:
PLUGINS > SEARCH: CONTACT FORM
Look for one that serves it purpose, I’m using CONTACT FORM 7, then
INSTALL > ACTIVATE
Manipulating the CONTACT US Form
Go to your DASHBOARD > CONTACT > CONTACT FORMS (a form has been automatically generated for you)
Then go to the MAIL tab, check your email address &everything else is correct, click SAVE.
In the CONTACT > CONTACT FORMS screen you’ll see the name of your CONTACT FORM & there’ll be a SHORTCODE next to it.
Copy that, ADD a CONTACT US page … paste the SHORTCODE in there & PUBLISH
Now you should have a CONTACT US page that people can fill out & when it sends, it’ll go directly to the email you’ve setup in WordPress.

Hey there,
I’ve been struggling to get the contact plugin installed into my wordpress site for days now. It was difficult to understand the dashboard and stuff.
Thanks very much for sharing this post and your instructive video that has helped to get my contact form easily set up and ready to go.
Cheers!
Oh you poor thing, glad to hear this was helpful for you! Sing out if you need a hand with anything else.
Hi,
Great tutorial! If only I’ve found this sooner. It took me hours to get a contact form up and how I want it to be.
With all the plugins and widgets, none seemed to work. It was very frustrating.
Thank you for the tutorial. It helped me and I bet it’s going to help so many others!
Fantastic great to hear it’s helped!
